The dream of every girl on the planet is to have luxurious, long, healthy and shiny curls. Unfortunately, the rhythm of the modern world often leads to a completely opposite result: deteriorating ecology, junk food, improper care, frequent dyeing, perm and drying with a hair dryer - these and many other factors lead to hair becoming thinner, becoming brittle, dull and lifeless. In order to rectify the situation it is not necessary to abandon fashion trends, you just need to provide strong support to your hair, nourish them with all the necessary substances. One of the tools that can help in the fight for beauty is Golden Silk keratin in more detail about which you will learn from our article.
Is it possible for 100 rubles to get full hair care? Pros and Cons of the Golden Silk Series.
I heard a lot about hair productsGolden silk". And before the new year, when money is spent in three more than usual on the right and completely unnecessary, on December 31, I bought all three hair products. At home, I had already considered that they were all from different collections "Argan Oil", "Keratin", "Pearls"
Now it will be about Hair balm Golden Silk Nutrition Hyaluron + collagen with the addition of Argan oil.
My hair requires special care, because for six years I have blown them up, dry with a hair dryer, straighten them. And then with all possible forces I heal them, splash them and literally solder them to keep and be smooth, voluminous and silky. But it is not always possible. Recently, I have a lot of hair masks, shampoos, oils for split ends, brittle hair and fluffiness in all directions. This tool in my collection can be a huge plus. +++++.
For me, she came up, and according to my feeling she really nourishes the hair. And Intensively Hydrates! For me, this is important! After her hair become soft and shiny!
Price: 110 rubles
1) it acts as a mask, and the consistency is quite thick.
2) economical
3) pleasant aroma (perhaps a little harsh, after washing it remains on the hair)
4) the main advantage is that the hair after it is smooth, soft and silky.
5) does not make heavier at the roots
6) can often be used in contrast to some professional tools.
I really liked this mask, and I will definitely buy more !!
Also here are my comments on other tools from this line.
Landing.
The shampoo from "Golden Silk" has its drawbacks:
• “growth activator” of hair is not very active. When I read reviews about “Golden Silk” on the Internet, I believed directly that in a month I could grow 2-3 cm. But it was not there, the growth rate did not increase! You can, of course, blame everything on poor ecology, diet, lack of sleep and all that, but then why say that hair will grow faster? Isn't it easier to honestly note that this is just a nourishing shampoo, and that's all?
• composition means, to put it mildly, ordinary. In addition to any proteins and ceramides, it is possible to find chlorine derivatives, preservatives, and other achievements of the chemical industry. So you should not attribute this series to "completely natural" cosmetics,
• packaging in “Golden Silk” is so-so. If someone lives quickly and washes his head after a workout in the gym, and then throws shampoo and balm in a makeup bag, this person can find in his gym bag shampoo-balsamic rivers. The cap from frequent opening-closing becomes loose and ceases to hold normally. Therefore, containers for cosmetics to help you!
And so, for their modest money, this is an excellent pair for hair - the skin is not dried, styling is simplified. They do not contribute to the rapid “growth”, but oh well, there will be an additional motivation not to miss the intake of fish oil and vitamins. I still recommend Golden Silk hair growth activator to those who want to look good and want to save money.

Pros keratin straightening
The advantages of keratin straightening mainly relate to easier styling and improve the appearance of the hair. Among the advantages can be noted:

Another advantage of keratin hair straightening is the durability of the result, which, with proper care, lasts up to 5 months. Also, some compositions for its implementation can be used independently at home by carefully following the instructions, without visiting beauty salons, which will significantly save the cost of the procedure.
Cons keratin straightening
Unfortunately, the disadvantages of straightening keratin is much more than positive moments. These include:
- the need not to expose the hair to moisture (rain, high humidity) and not to wash the head for 72 hours after the end of the procedure, which can cause discomfort and discomfort, especially in women accustomed to a clean head,
- high risk of allergic reactions and irritation (tearing eyes, redness of the mucous membranes, face and head skin),
- the requirement not to wrinkle or expose the hair to mechanical stress for three days after the procedure, do not braid it, do not collect it with an elastic band or a hairpin in the tail, try not to crush it during sleep,
- breaking off the ends of the hair a couple of months after keratinizing,
- rapid contamination of the strands and the need for frequent washing to maintain a well-groomed look,
- reducing the volume of hair and loss of hair after the procedure,
- difficulties with hair coloring, due to the fact that the hair is covered with a protective layer that prevents the penetration and uniform distribution of pigment,
- exposure to hair high temperatures (230 ° C) during the procedure,
- the duration of the procedure (from 3 to 5 hours) and the high cost, which is calculated based on the length of the hair,
- the fragility of the result with regular visits to the sauna, swimming pool, swimming in the sea,
- the need to use special expensive sulfate-free products for washing hair.
Considering the listed shortcomings, many of the fair sex are afraid to experience keratinization of their hair, while continuing to use high-quality irons with protection against thermal effects for straightening.
A warning: The main danger during keratin straightening is the formaldehyde gas released during the heating of the composition. It can cause irritation, intoxication, headaches and has carcinogenic properties.
Parts of the listed disadvantages of keratin hair straightening can be avoided by choosing a qualified master who thoroughly knows all the subtleties and features of its implementation. For example, the negative impact on health of formaldehyde released during the procedure is easily avoided by ensuring good ventilation of the room and putting a respirator or a special protective mask on the client.
What is keratin
It is a natural protein found in the hair, nails, or cornified areas of the epidermis. Under the influence of high temperatures (hair dryer, ironing, curling) and the chemical influence of keratin strength decreases. The substance is able to restore and protect our hairs, make them smooth, beautiful, so it is very important to fill its lack with the help of special means.
Keratin contains amino acids that can be converted to different compounds. This ability gives the substance the ability to take on various states: liquid or solid, dense or soft. In addition to amino acids, it contains cystine, cysteine, glycine, alanine, and sulfur-containing amino acid is responsible for its strength. To replenish amino acids, the body needs sulfur, nitrogen, silicon and other trace elements that are found in animal protein.
Keratin straightening from the scientific side
Keratin is a special type of protein. It is contained in the stratum corneum of nails, skin, hair, and has special strength. Keratin is the main component of the composition for applying to the curls, but also in the procedure involves other nutrients and beneficial to the hair substance.
Thus, the composition that is applied to the hair contains all the elements necessary for a healthy structure. Due to its rich composition, the service involves the restoration of damaged hair, which often suffer for the following reasons:
- direct sunlight
- hard water exposure
- hair coloring,
- detrimental effects of hair dryer and ironing.
Photo: Cons and pros, the effects of keratin hair straighteningKeratin is able to supplement the composition of the hair and saturate them with all the missing elements.
Not many modern girls know that keratin straightening has 2 types.
- Brazilian hair straightening. In this case, the procedure will be cheaper (on average, the service will be cheaper by 1-2 thousand rubles). But the disadvantage of this procedure is the presence of formaldehydes. In order to avoid their negative impact, it is better to use the American straightening.
- American hair straightening. The service is more expensive, but less dangerous for a person. In addition, this service can be found not in all beauty salons.
Hair care after both types of procedures is the same.
The result of keratin straightening is always positive. If the procedure is performed by a professional master, then this gives the client a lot of advantages in the further care of hair.
- Straightening. This effect is most welcome. It is hair straightening that is the most common cause of keratin straightening. After it, the hair becomes smoother. Stubborn curls and curls are a thing of the past. Moisture and even water in large quantities do not completely affect the state and directness of each hair.
- Structure improvement. The structure of the hair becomes more supple. Hair is not confused, to the touch become uniform. This eliminates the pulling of hair when combing. Hair loss becomes less noticeable and less active.
- Recuperation. This process is perceived by customers more often as an additional effect, which gives keratin. In fact, this effect is major. The result of hair recovery is manifested in the reduction of fragility, dryness and weakness. Hair falls out less, becomes much stronger, there is a characteristic, healthy shine. Also, those who constantly carry out the procedure, note the improvement in hair growth.
The result of keratin straightening, therefore, is of sufficient quality. The procedure is able to save even very damaged hair and improve their structural features.
How is the procedure performed
The procedure for keratin straightening is quite long. It takes a lot of time, but the result that the client receives is always very high quality. The procedure is usually the following:
- Hair prepared by the master. To do this, they are carefully combed with a comb with a rare row of teeth. Immediately after this, the master conducts the washing of hair with special keratin-containing shampoos. During this procedure, the master pays attention to each strand and carefully massages it for optimally deep penetration of the composition into each hair.
- After washing, they are thoroughly dried with a towel and combed again. Next, the client needs to wait a few minutes until the hair dries out a little more naturally.
- When the curls are barely wet, they are applied straightening mixture - a special drug. This part of the procedure takes about half an hour. Such a duration is due to the thoroughness of the application.
- The next step is sealing keratin. During this procedure, the master dries the hair with a hair dryer, and then strokes each strand with a styler at 230 degrees. This allows you to fix the result and rid the hair of the scales that are on the outer surface.
- At the end of the procedure, the hair is washed out again. This allows you to wash off the remnants of keratin. After the hair is dried again with a hair dryer and becomes smooth. Thus, the owner of the curls can not worry about the appearance of curls or irregularities in the hair, and styling ironing will not need soon.
Photo: Pros of keratin straightening and consSo, despite the duration of the keratin straightening procedure, the result is extremely impressive.On average, the leveling result begins to gradually disappear only after 5-6 months. Usually the first areas that begin to stand out from the general form of hair, it becomes the hair roots. You can get rid of irregularities by performing keratin leveling only on the hair roots. Such a procedure is not too expensive and does not take much time.
Keratin straightening: the pros and cons
Before proceeding with the procedure, it is required to weigh the pros and cons of keratin straightening. There are a lot of parameters to consider. So the advantages of keratin straightening are the following:
- Easy combing. After keratin straightening, the hair becomes smoother and no longer confused, regardless of length. Even combing wet hair does not cause difficulties.
- Versatility. This procedure can be performed for owners of any hair type. It is perfect for any hair structure.

- Piling. Even when walking in the rain, snow or strong wind, hair styling remains perfect. Mechanical factors and the surrounding level of humidity does not affect the state of the hair.
- Natural hair shine. Keratin restores the hair structure and therefore makes it smoother and shinier.
- Protection. Hair after keratin straightening become more resistant to sunlight, sea or hard water and other factors.

- Salvation from chemical wave. Keratin is able to restore hair even after an unsuccessful perm. In this case, each curl will be aligned and restored.

Cons keratin hair straightening though not numerous, but still there are. The main disadvantages are:

- Mechanical immunity. Within 72 hours or 3 days from the moment of straightening, clients should walk with loose hair and brush their hair as often as possible. Otherwise, the effect may be incomplete.
- The washing up. Washing the hair for the first 3 days is also prohibited. Observe this rule should be especially clear.
- Hair volume becomes much smaller. About this need to know those girls who love lush hairstyles. It is also important to take into account the fact that some clients have the effect of dirty or greasy hair.
- The procedure is time consuming.. Indeed, keratin alignment of hair is quite a long process that can also be inscribed in the shortcomings of this procedure.
Who is shown and contraindicated procedure
The indications for keratin straightening are as follows:
- Dry and damaged hair.
- Curly hair.
- Hair requiring emergency restoration.
Contra indications a bit more. In addition to pregnancy, it is necessary to indicate the following series of factors in which straightening is contraindicated:
- Scalp damage: open wounds, scratches, scratches.
- Hair loss is of an intense nature.
- Breast feeding.
- Precancerous condition.
- Diseases of the scalp.
Masters recommend consulting with a doctor beforehand. This will completely protect the client from any adverse conditions.
How does the drug
Keratin is a type of natural protein. A person's hair consists of about 90–95% of it (differences may vary depending on nationality, thickness of hair, and so on).
One of the best qualities is considered to be its ability to penetrate inside the hair shaft, while the vast majority of cosmetics only affects the outer shell. It is because of this property that keratin is often associated with not so much a cosmetic, as with a healing one.
Important! The principle of action consists in penetration into the structure of hairs, filling in “burned-out” areas and gluing damaged scales, saturation with vital force and shine.
As practice shows, to use keratin for the sake of preventive health improvement purposes is not worth it - the procedure is necessary for those who by nature have thin, dry or brittle hair, or those who have abused hairdressing services. For example, keratin will not do much for girls with oily hair. The fact is that the fat will prevent the penetration of protein into the internal structure of the hair, which means keratin is not fully absorbed and will not bring the expected effect.
For the procedure, you can contact the master in the salon, but it is quite an expensive pleasure. In addition, one procedure is usually not enough to restore the healthy appearance of the hair. A simpler solution would be to use keratin-rich products. Golden Silk is deservedly considered one of the best brands in this area.
Component Properties
The Golden Silk Keratin series is represented by four different hair care products: a mask, shampoo, balsam and spray. The method of application for each product is different, but the principle of operation is common to all.
Excellent results help to achieve:
- in fact, keratin, which is responsible for repairing damage,
- Argan oil is a substance widely known in cosmetology that helps to give radiance and softness to hair and skin,
- keratin peptides - concentrated amino acids working to strengthen the hair structure,
- panthenol - is responsible for maintaining the proper water balance,
- hyaluronic acid - is responsible for the saturation and retention of moisture, prevents dryness and brittleness.
There are no contraindications as such, an allergic reaction can occur only when an individual is intolerant of any substance. To avoid this situation, you must first apply the tool on a small area of skin, and then check for the presence or absence of a reaction.
Instructions for use and effectiveness
Keratin Shampoo can be used on a daily basis. Apply a small amount to moisturized hair, lather and massage the scalp well, then rinse with warm water. If necessary, repeat the procedure.
For the best effect, it is worth applying care products of this series consistently. Secondarily, it is advisable to use a balm-conditioner. It is applied by uniform application over the entire length of the hair (avoiding the area at the roots), then it is necessary to stand for 3-5 minutes and rinse with water.
Council For very brittle hair, the rescue will be the Golden Silk Keratin mask, which should be applied to wet curls and, after waiting a couple of minutes, rinse with plenty of water.
The spray will help to finally fix the effect and sate your hair with useful elements. It should be evenly distributed on washed curls, wash off is not required. If necessary, you can repeat these actions several times during the day.
Keratin, in addition to the above properties, has another equally valuable ability - a gradual cumulative effect. As the substance enters the hair shaft regularly, not only is its restoration and strengthening, but also keratin accumulation. In this way, The effectiveness of the use of the complex Golden Silk directly depends on the frequency and correctness of its use, which is described in detail on the bottles with care products.
Average cost in Russia
As mentioned earlier, treating hair with keratin in the salon will cost much more. Many factors play a role here: this is the length of the hair, the composition used, the time and work of the master, and so on. In the country, the cost of such a procedure starts from 1,500 rubles and sometimes varies up to 16,000.
Of course, not everyone can afford to spend such amounts every 2-3 months throughout the year (namely, so much time is considered optimal for repairing damaged hair).
Care for your hair at home with a line of Golden Silk goes many times cheaper The average cost of the products is shown below:
- shampoo - 115–140 rubles,
- Balsam - 110–140 rubles,
- Mask - 130–160 rubles,
- spray — 125–130 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
It is difficult to ignore the obvious economic benefits, because even buying all the funds of this series at once, financial expenses are unlikely to be more than 600–700 rubles, and the purchased products can be used within 1–1.5 months.
An important moment can be called and saving time - no need to go anywhere, waste your time and energy. The whole cycle can be done at home in a familiar and comfortable environment, without interrupting your daily tasks.
Due to the fact that professional and home keratin differ in the frequency of their use, it is easy to conclude that the dose of substances in the salon and home versions will be different. A one-time “shock” therapy is more humane to replace with a gentle and gradual restoration of hair.
Well-known fact - keratin helps to straighten hair. But the ability to make curls and styling, as well as various staining does not disappear, and this is a big plus for any fashionable woman.
The disadvantages can be attributed only to excessive oily hair with the wrong application of the course.
Hair care for each girl is strictly individual, it is not always easy to choose the appropriate type and structure of techniques. The one who once tested the effects of keratin recovery on himself will no longer be able to do without it. The only question is which of the means to achieve this goal is preferable - using hairdressing services for fabulous money or independently at home, without resorting to any outside help.

What makes keratin with hair
Keratin hair care is necessary to restore their structure from the inside. Molecules of substance penetrate deep into the hairline, filling the intercellular space and microcracks, restoring its elasticity, strength and luster.

Spray Gold silk with keratin to restore hair structure. There are significant advantages, but not without drawbacks!
I met the company Golden Silk back in 2014. Then I actively fought for the thickness of the hair, and Golden Hair silk hair growth oil helped me in this. A couple of months ago I came across an Optima spray store of this company to restore the hair structure and ease combing, and I decided to buy it, especially since there was a discount for this product and its price was only 100 rubles. At the moment, the bottle is almost empty and I am ready to describe all the pros and cons of this product.

The product is produced in a convenient bottle with two lids, to be honest, for the first time I come across a similar product with two lids. The bottle itself is covered with an opaque glossy label that makes it difficult to track the remaining product in the bottle. I liked the smell of the product, a little sweet, but not cloying, very pleasant. But the aroma does not linger on the hair, disappears quickly.
Spray "Golden silk" ease of combing with keratin application
In applying the spray is very simple, sprayed from a short distance to clean damp hair, do not need to be washed off. The spray turned out to be very convenient for me, the product was sprayed in a cloud rather than a jet, like, for example, the Syoss spray has deep care that spits on the hair.

After applying the spray, the hair becomes softer, easier to comb, and it is easy to style. Moreover, the tool does not make the hair heavier and does not fatten them, despite the oils in the composition. However, the effect on the top five does not draw: shine and radiance are not very pronounced, softness and silkiness too. For example, after the indelible Estel, Londa, or CHI fluid oils, the effect is much better. But for its value is a very good product!
